Spiced Turbinado Rich Syrup

Yields: Approx. 12-13 oz | Perfect for Old Fashioneds

Ingredients

• 10 oz (1 ¼ cups) Turbinado Sugar
• 5 oz (⅝ cup) Filtered Water
• 1 Large Cinnamon Stick (cracked in half)
• 3 to 4 Whole Cloves
• 1 tsp Vodka (added at the end for preservation)

Instructions

1. Toast: Place the Turbinado sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir for about 60 seconds until the spices become fragrant.
2. Dissolve: Pour in the filtered water. Stir constantly until the sugar crystals are completely dissolved. Do not bring to a rolling boil.
3. Infuse: Remove from heat and let the mixture sit as it cools to room temperature. This allows the spices to steep.
4. Preserve: Once the syrup is completely cool, stir in the teaspoon of vodka.
5. Bottle: Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean 12 oz glass bottle to remove the cinnamon and cloves.
